You can think of POSIX as a runtime standard for C, but for many reasons, some language/operating system providers decide to either not provide a determined function, change its parameters, its name or some criterion on how to handle the request.\nIf a certain operating system does support the full set of POSIX operations with the standard names, parameters and criteria, then they may certify that with IEEE.\nThat allows you to create a C program and, as long as you use only POSIX functions, it's bound to work correctly on any POSIX-conformant system.\n\nHope it helped!

non POSIX-compatible C functions?

Whether any party would be worthy flying cross-country for is definitely up to you, but as far as company parties go, I think Yahoo's are tops.\n\nThey go all out in so many ways.  The bands are impressively big (for a party) like this year's Earth, Wind, and Fire (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:aq6jtr59klox), there is a huge variety of food and alcohol (including ice sculpture martini luges), and lots of other activities (gambling, full-body video games).  \n\nBut despite all that, your enjoyment will probably be determined more by how much you enjoy being around your co-workers (if they're going), your date, and/or how long you can enjoy gambling/dancing.\n\nThe last two parties really really impressed me, but I enjoyed the second one much more because my date and I shared a great enthusiasm for the party and dancing.\n\nIt doesn't look like last year's photos links work anymore :(
Should I fly back to Sunnyvale (from WI) for the Year end party? Is it worth it?I'?

Both buying and renting in California can be expensive, depending on the area you're looking to live in.  My husband and I were paying $900 a month in 2001 for a two bedroom, two bath apartment (900 sq ft) in Anaheim, CA.\n\nWhen we purchased our home in 2002, we were paying $1700 a month in mortgage payments for a 3 bedroom 2 1/2 bath home that is 1700 sq ft.  \n\nOur mortgage payment has since dropped, since we refinanced and got a lower interest rate.  I'm certain the rent price would've only increased year after year, as it had been.\n\nIf you can afford to purchase a house in California, I would consider doing so.  The investment is well worth it.

should I buy or rent in California?
